large GBA style PS2 portable

Post by elixirnova »

Hey at the moment im about 50% complete because i dont have a console yet because i fryed my previous one...
But nonetheless im only improving from this point Im doing it gba style.
Here is an old pic of the front and a mockup
front: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/ ... LedFan.jpg
mockup: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/ ... mockup.jpg

The mockup is what it about actually looks like right now, the LCD is mounted and speakers are in as well as the controller wired (except L's and R's)
I Have no battery yet and am not too sure if im going to keep that fan in front or remove it and make it a sunken etching or logo of some sort depending on if i can get ahold of a ps2 slimline :cry: .
Off the top of my head the dimensions are 10x5.5x1.4 i believe all in inches too. Will upload some new pics tomorrow or tuesday hopefully.

Naw keep the fan there If it blows out(prolly won't but for my purpose it will) it can keep you cool in the intense moments of RE4 when it comes out for PS2 supposidly with CHAINSAW action!!!! :twisted:

Well, unless he was holding it inches from his face, wouldn't the air cool over the progression toward his face and eventhough lots of heat is probably produces its probably not much more than warm I would think the only real heat coming from it would be sensed in the hands. :? But Maybe I am wrong.

:? Nah since there is a fan the plastic wont heat up which is the idea :) and neither will other delicate parts (although shocking them seams to prove more deadly....) Anyhow...

Heres a pic of so far and ill take one of the wiring mess @_@

looks pretty good :)...I see you used a similar technique as me to add in the controller ;)
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

The fan thing is only an issue if its warm out, I bet it will be very good around winter.

Otherwise looks like you have a nice case. Tell us when your done, I'm interested in seeing the complete 3rd PS2p.

I dunno if i should make a seperate topic but maybe someone is reading this now :lol: .
Anyhow if I were to run this off the RC batteries and use a slimline which uses about 8V? and my intec screen that uses about 8VV(according to the adapters and other labels) What would i need to hook it up to the 7.2V rc batteries or should i use a 9.6V or somthing around that power and how would i regulate that to the correct voltage and amp output?
